I installed postnuke and works properly. But when i login as admin it seems that there is a problem. When i click on administration, then it shows an administration menu and a set of icons with set of topics only. But in the demo I saw that there is a set of tabs displayed on the top namely, 3rd party, content, Resource pack, System, Utility. But these tabs are not displayed with my site. What is problem here? What can I do ? I highly appriciate replys.
Regards,
Dinesh.

Those tabs are new in PN .760...if you're not using that version, you won't have the tabs... -

Glad to hear about the impending release. Though, I'm not seeing the value of the tabs myself. Personally, this is something about MD-Pro that I don't like. Could you maybe give some reasoning behind the tabbing? Maybe if I knew what the goal was I could learn to like them more. ;) -

Hi Alar,
Tabs give the administrator/webmaster the ability to categorize the functions for the site.
The structure of the items can be changed or customized depending on your needs and thoughts regarding what needs to go where.
And if you prefer to have all the links/buttons on one page in alphabetical order as they are now you can do that too. Just configure the system to display all the links in one category and then tell the system you want all new modules added to go into the main category and change the templates in your admin module directory, then voila, you have the exact same look you have in the "classic" admin panel of PN. :)
Simple, but with choices and options.

The aims are varied and depend on the site admin's aims. They can be used to simply split up the number of modules, to break the modules down into functionality groups (the default system, content split) etc.
The module is templated so if you don't like (or want) tabs then create a single tab, assign all modules to it, set it as the default tab and default tab for unassigned modules then edit the templates to remove the tabbed navigation - hey presto an admin panel a la .750.
I also think that our implementation is cleaner than the md-pro one which is a pain to configure (modules don't appear until you assign them to a tab) and difficult impossible to skin; multiple files with mixed PHP and HTML and lots of tables. The PN implementation can be altered by editing templates and altering the CSS (standard pnrender module techniques). The code in md-pro was originally written for PN by the postnuke sweden team.

A few more specifics - the navigation is a styled list with the CSS id 'minitabs'. The default CSS file for this is navtabs.css in the pnstyle directory of the admin module. The stylesheet that is used can be set from the modifyconfig option of the admin panel - an additional stylesheet, minitabs.css, is provided. There are many more styling options at listamatic. A theme can have it's own specific styling by overriding the stylesheet - create a copy of the stylesheet in themes//style/Admin and then modify it as you see fit.
The templates can be overriden in the theme in the same way. Create copies of admin_admin_adminpanel.htm and admin_admin_categorymenu.htm in themes//templates/modules/Admin and alter as required.
To remove the navigation menu remove the minitabs styled list from admin_admin_categorymenu.htm.
Code
<ul id="minitabs">
<!--[section name=menuoption loop=$menuoptions]-->
<li>
<!--[if $currentcat eq $menuoptions[menuoption].cid]-->
<a class="active" href="<!--[$menuoptions[menuoption].url|pnvarprepfordisplay]-->" title="<!--[$menuoptions[menuoption].description|pnvarprepfordisplay]-->">
<!--[$menuoptions[menuoption].title|pnvarprepfordisplay]--></a>
<!--[else]-->
<a href="<!--[$menuoptions[menuoption].url|pnvarprepfordisplay]-->" title="<!--[$menuoptions[menuoption].description|pnvarprepfordisplay]-->
"><!--[$menuoptions[menuoption].title|pnvarprepfordisplay]--></a>
<!--[/if]-->
</li>
<!--[/section]-->
</ul>

Thanks for the info you guys! This does clear things up...as well as clarify that the clunky MD-Pro method isn't used. I'm especially glad to hear that the "old" interface is still a possibility as I'm one who likes to get things done in the least amount of clicks. I'm currently remodeling my site with .750...and with the tons of modification to the core code, I probably don't even stand a chance at a smooth upgrade to .760 anyway. I'll probably wait for .8 or later to do it again. Nonetheless, I do appreciate the info...
So anyway, I know it's a few years down the line, but what happens at v1.0?...does PN go commercial at that point? -

PN is currently being used commercially in a variety of ways but it's my expectation that when 1.0 comes out it will be ready for enterprise wide use. :)

..ooooh that's the beauty.. don't tell anyone, but there's actually no plan to ever hit 1.0! we'll just keep adding integers --> .999999999999997
.. I kid. someone else can answer that.. I just wanted to say I HATED the tabs when I first used them demo'ing envo.. but I've grown extremely fond of them.. the modules module has been quite an improvement over all.

I didn't like the envo/md-pro implementation either - 'if it looks like a complete hack, acts like a complete hack then.....'. I can see why the code was rejected from PN originally - way to complex, hacky and non standards based. My main complaint being a module wouldn't show at all until you assigned it to a tab.
The modules module changes, again, came about because I found myself scrolling lots and hunting for the module I wanted to activate so the alpha pager and state filter made my life easier. The alpha pager being particularly easy to implement via the pagerabc Smarty plugin.
